Jumping Too Soon.

Rewind to two years ago. As I sat there and scrolled through social media, I caught myself being overcome with jealousy. "Why is she making so much money?" "Why does she look so happy?" "Why is she a celebrity hair stylist at 26 and I'm not, I could do that!?" The truth is, I had let myself stay in a situation that didn't make make me 100% happy for too long. I decided after being in the salon environment for almost 6 years, it was time for me to make some changes. Have you ever felt like you were meant for something more? That's how I felt every single day. I felt it with every part of me and I thought that I was good but I knew that I had to let go of some things in order to be great.

Fast forward to present day. As I am sitting in Starbucks focusing on my website and getting noticed in my career, I realize all these jokes I have made since leaving the salon life and rebuilding and being low on money have been my way of coping with the what ifs. "What if I'm not good enough?" "What if I jumped too soon?" Well everyone, the truth is, you can learn to fly on the way down. I was tired of being comfortable. With taking a huge chance, you could be risking a lot, but the risk is 100% worth it. Just like me, a lot of you might be thinking how terrible it would be to look back on your life and wonder what if. So I leave you with this, " People settle into okay relationships, okay jobs, okay friends and an okay life. Why? Because okay is comfortable. Okay pays the bills, and provides a warm bed at night. Some people are fine with okay and guess what? That's okay. But okay is not thrilling, it isn't passion, it's not life changing or unforgettable. Okay is not the reason you risk absolutely everything you've got for the smallest chance that something absolutely amazing could happen." It's never too soon to jump. ❤️Arielle
